Max Planck researchers produce nanodiamonds from graphene

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, led by Yingke Wu and Tanja Weil, synthesized nanodiamonds of 3–4 nanometers from graphene fragments using high pressure and high temperature, publishing the results in Nature. The bottom-up method allows precise control over nanodiamond size, structure, and dopant atoms—such as nitrogen for vacancy centers or silicon for photoluminescence—which is relevant for graphene-derived carbon nanomaterials and quantum photonics applications.
